As a Yelp Elite I will not consider this a review but, more of share words from the book. this excerpt hails from Asa Don Dickinson's Guide to Daily Reading, found on page 112. I feel it conveys a feeling that any book owner/lover can truly appreciate:

Sitting last winter among my books, and walled around with all the comfort and protection which they and my fireside could afford me—to wit, a table of higher piles books at my back, my writing desk on one side of me, some shelves on the other, and the feeling of the warm fire at my feet—I began to consider how I loved the author of those books.

Wow! That encasuplated a moment where i could almost smell the fire and feel the warmth of the room. You either get that or you don't. If you do, then you and I are cut from the same stock and I could consider you a friend. My money says that you have also either made a friend, had someone completely agree with you or had someone roll their eyes (in front of you or behind your back) when you mentioned how much you like the smell of a bookstore. You may have even pointed out that your books don't take batteries and never need to be charged.

Found it on my grandmother's shelves one endless summer visit and fell in love with that rascal Penrod and his crazy adventures. Though I could never quite figure out what the attraction of chewing tar would be. He seemed much like Ramona the Pest, only as a boy living in an ancient and mythical world of long-ago. Which 1910's America certainly seemed to me in the thoroughly modern 1970's.
